Geocache Description:

The first cache in the Team Norkak series! A winter friendly well stocked ammo can cache on a beautiful, unknown trail in New Maryland. The whole series stretches about 2 - 3 kilometers round trip from the closest parking area.

This cache was hidden as part of a task for the Come Out and Play Contest.


Original Contents of the cache:
Scout wristband
Two blue happy face stress balls
Canada Flag bouncy ball
Two pairs of 3D glasses
Glow in the Dark rubber duckie
Two kinder surpise toys
LED finger flashlight
Turtle pencil sharpener
Keychain tag
Small ceramic dog
Blurb (noisemaking slime)
Grow a dinosaur egg

In mid summer, 2010, one of us had an idea: to try and tackle the entire stud mill road series. We're not really sure who floated the idea originally, but between the lot of us - forestfauna, Treehugger21, and Coopsquared - we certainly found the idea of 100 + caches in a day appealing.

This was the first major caching expedition we had planned out as a group, and it was an experience. Power trails, especially park and grab power trails, are not for everybody. The Stud Mill Road series (check out this cache and look at the map to see the series) is a LONG series of quick park and grabs. For us, it became boring over the course of the day, but it was good fun with good friends.

Partway through the day, we realized that another cacher was finding the same series on the same day! It took us several (dozen) caches to be able to read this cachers name. We thought it said NORKAK. After the trip was over and we found out that no such cacher exists, we decided to call OURSELVES Team Norkak!
